Pot of geraniums

Active Listings – 118

Average List Price – $227,573

Sold Homes = 60

Pending Sales = 38

Average Sold Price = $187,427

Average Sold $/Sq Ft = $ 99.97

Sale Price to List Price = 94.43%

 

The Caledonia Market has seen good activity this first half

of 2011, prices are inching up and inventory is slightly down.

The huge unknown for any real estate market this year, is when

and how the foreclosures and bank owned homes will re-enter

the marketplace.  If they are dribbled back onto the market,

prices may hold steady.  If these homes are dumped back on

the market, en mass, this would lead to further price erosion

for all homes.  Now is a great time to sell, if you have been

considering moving to Caledonia.

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011

A list of the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan Houses to buy

based on price per square foot.   Price per square foot is a

great leveler.  If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their

price per square foot should be similar.  The price should reflect the

interior finish of the  home. For example, if the home has a newer

kitchen, wood floors, & remodeled bathrooms, this would be more per

square foot than a home that still has 1990’s decor and/or is in

derelict or “tired” condition.

The homes this month in Caledonia real estate are mostly middle

to upper end homes, with only 3 homes under $100K in price.  Activity

is ramping up with the advent of spring, as 22 homes went pending

in the last month, 10 sold.

 

Price is still a huge factor, the average sale was under $150K range.

Since the low sold was $ 25,000 and the high was over $1,000,000,

this is quite a spread.  Distressed properties were about 25-30% of

sales in the last month and there were fewer available on the market.

The Caledonia Market has more listings than this time last

year, by about 25%.  Inventory is high, as sales have slowed.

This is a great time to buy a Caledonia MI home, with low

interest rates, high inventory, and slow sales.  The experts tell

us there is a shadow inventory of foreclosures that will hit the

market sometime in the future.  Whether they dribble into the

market or hit it in huge floods, the downward pressure on prices

will likely prevail.

to be had in Caledonia real estate.  Price is still being driven

downward UNLESS homes are in great condition and even

that isn’t a guarantee that the home will sell quickly.

If a Caledonia home is where you would like to live,

interest rates are at historically low rates and inventory

is still high. Waiting to see the bottom of the market could

be a mistake, you can’t tell it is the bottom until it is gone.

Caledonia MI Real Estate Market Report April – June 2010

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report  April – June 2010

Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is  currently 6.5 months,

which means if no other homes come on the market, it will take 6.5 months for

the current inventory to sell at the current sales rate.  This stat is down by one

third less than last year’s figure.  We are seeing a definite slowdown after the first

quarter uplift in sales in Caledonia homes.  Sell times are currently edging out of

the  “normal” range of 3-6 months and back to a buyer’s market.

Caledonia Library Sign

153 current active listings

High price – $1,145,000

Low price – $ 49,900

Current average  List price $272,376

26 Pending Sales

44 Sold Homes

Average sold price/Square foot is $ 101.95

Sold High $525,000

Sold Low – $22,500

1 home in million dollar+ range skews the figures somewhat in the upper home price brackets.


The Caledonia market has been busy so far this year; buyers bought 2 homes

under $100K, the majority of homes purchased were between $100-300K.    Currently,

there are only 10 homes listed under $100K, 39 homes listed  over $ 500K, and that means

77 homes are listed between $100K and 499,999K, many opportunities in the middle

brackets to own a home in Caledonia. In general, higher priced listings are seeing

downward pricing pressure from buyers.

With interest rates at record low levels, buying now could save you thousands

of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – May 2010

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan

Houses to buy based on price per square foot.   Price per square

foot is a great leveler.  If two similar homes are listed at similar prices,

their price per square foot should be similar.  The price should

reflect the interior finish of the  home.

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers,marble tile, & a new

kitchen, this would be more per square foot than a home that

still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.
